A George Sanders Alternate 100: #100 - 76

As we discuss on this week's Episode 39 of the show, The Hollywood Reporter's recent Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films list is absolutely dreadful. Gladiator is on it. Gladiator! Of course, we think we can do better than that, so we came up with our own lists and added them together. But it wouldn't be George Sanders if it didn't include a needlessly complicated twist. Not only could we not include any films on the Reporter's list, we couldn't include anything that made the Top 100 lists from Sight and Sound or They Shoot Pictures. Sorry Seven Samurai, Jeanne Dielman and Singin' in the Rain: you're ineligible.

We'll be unveiling the list over the rest of the week, here's the first installment.

Episode 39: Lola and Lola

This week, on the eve of Mike's European vacation to France and Germany, we take a look at a couple of films from those countries that just happen (a total coincidence we swear) to have the same title: Jacques Demy's 1961 film Lola, starring Anouk Aimée and Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1981 film Lola, starring Armin Mueller-Stahl.

As well we'll discuss our Essential Vacation films, celebrate the career of Jacques Demy, our Person of the Week, and talk about how terrible Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films are.
